Marouane Fellaini is likely to be out of action for around two months after
the Manchester United midfielder underwent surgery on his wrist over the
weekend.

David Moyes, the United manager, gave the go-ahead to the operation after
fresh scans on a separate back injury showed the problem had not healed as
quickly as he hoped and that the Belgium would have been sidelined for some
time anyway.

Fellaini suffered serious ligament damage to his wrist during the 1-1
Champions League draw away to Shakhtar Donetsk on October 2, since when he
has been forced to wear a protective cast.
